REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

WA-54-R – Greater Cornea Fields, Western Australia, 14.875% interest

The Cornea Joint Venture consists of the following interests:

Enegex Limited 14.875%
Octanex Group. (ASX Code: OXX) 18.750%
Cornea Resources Pty Ltd (Operator) 13.100%
Others 53.275%

The Greater Cornea Fields, being the Cornea (Central and South), Focus and Sparkle Oil Fields and the Cornea North (Tear) Gas Field, are located in the Browse Basin, offshore from Western Australia and held via a Retention Lease which covers 6 graticular blocks, amounting to an area of 497km[2] .

Figure 1 Greater Cornea Field Retention Lease Location Map

The oil volumes in the Greater Cornea Fields are such that, if threshold production flow rates can be demonstrated, but dependent on oil price, the economics may provide the potential for a commercial development. (Refer Table 1).

Work Program

The WA-54-R work program is aimed at overcoming the various challenges likely to be faced in bringing the Greater Cornea Fields into commercial production.

At the time the Retention Lease was granted, production uncertainty was considered to be the greatest barrier to the development of the Greater Cornea Fields. Given the potential size of the oil resource, and the oil price then prevailing (in the order of US$110/bbl), it was understood that resolving the production uncertainty could provide a reasonable expectation for future development.

4

Enegex Limited ABN 28 160 818 986

Accordingly, the Retention Lease work program substantially addressed the technical challenges of the Fields; with the first three years of the Lease designed to support the quantification of drilling challenges, culminating in a Year-4 production test, with the Year-5 work programme involving review of the Year-4 outcomes. The work programme was thus designed on the premise that Cornea’s challenge was whether it would produce, rather than whether production would be economic.

Recent economic modelling demonstrates the fundamental shift in the field’s commerciality in the current sustained low oil price environment, as well as demonstrating that the Greater Cornea Fields are not presently economic (even were the production uncertainties resolved). “Oil price” was identified as the input to which the field is now most sensitive, rather than “production”, which was the case in 2013.

Recent technical work has included drilling studies, particularly focusing on the use of technology to address key uncertainties. Additional field development concept work has focussed on an appropriate production system.

Our studies indicate that the material and sustained fall in the price of oil since the grant of the Retention Lease has resulted in an assessment that a development of the Greater Cornea Fields would not be presently commercial, even were the production uncertainties to be resolved.

The Cornea Joint Venture has applied to vary the conditions of WA-54-R in order that the work programme is focussed on the “oil price” barrier to development now faced by the Greater Cornea Fields.

Potential Alliances

In addition to maintaining fiscal discipline and progressing the Retention Lease work program, Enegex remains interested in developing potential alliances for the development of Cornea.

Energy Storage Innovation

With oil prices continuing to languish, we have considered where our future may lie.

Advances are being made with energy storage. Enegex is seeking to become involved in innovations that are transforming the storage of energy. Key benefits associated with this sector include the following:

  1. Various forms of energy storage are expected to grow quickly and will promote increased uptake of renewable energy, in particular;

  2. Australia is expected to be one of the largest markets for energy storage due to the high cost of electricity, the large number of households already with solar panels and Australia’s excellent solar resources; and

  3. The potential to reduce two large contributors to the cost of electricity bills in Australia – network and wholesale energy costs.

Our initial initiatives are to investigate and to undertake investment in the following areas:

  1. Strategic energy storage minerals such as lithium, cobalt and graphite

  2. Energy storage technologies 3. Alternative and renewable energy sources

Our involvement in energy storage and services may take a variety of forms including direct participation, joint venture and equity investment.

A small initial investment in Genex Power Limited (ASX Code GNX) was made during the half year.

Enegex Limited ABN 28 160 818 986

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

An application was made 5 March 2017 to vary the WA-54-R lease work program including replacing the year four well commitment with further studies.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

We have obtained an independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 from our auditor, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, a copy of which is included at page 14.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 December 2016

NOTE 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

Enegex Limited (“Enegex” or “the company”) is a for-profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia with its registered office and principal place of business located at Level 21, 500 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000. The financial report of the company for the half year ended 31 December 2016 comprises the company and the company’s interest in joint operations.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the company as the annual financial report.

The half year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Enegex Limited for the year ended 30 June 2016.

It is also recommended that the half year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Enegex Limited during the six months ended 31 December 2016, made in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules of the ASX.

Basis of Preparation

The half year financial report is a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting” and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The half year financial report has been prepared on an historical cost basis.

For the purpose of preparing this financial report, the half year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2016 has been prepared on a going concern basis. This basis has been adopted as the directors believe the company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy its debts as and when they fall due.

The company has limited financial resources and will need to raise additional capital from time to time. Any such fund raisings will be subject to factors beyond the control of the company and its directors. When Enegex requires further funding for its programs, it is the company’s intention that the additional funds would be raised in a manner deemed most expedient by the directors at the time, taking into account working capital, exploration results, budgets, share market conditions, capital raising opportunities and the interest of industry in co-participation in the company’s programs. With the retention lease WA-54-R an application has been made to the designated authority to vary the lease work program including replacing the year four well commitment with further studies.

The half year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 as well as those described in detail on the following page.

New and revised accounting standards applicable for the first time to the current half-year reporting period

The company has adopted all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that became effective for the first time and are relevant to the company.

The adoption of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations has had no significant impact on the company’s accounting policies or the amounts reported during the current half-year period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 December 2016

NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment information is presented using a 'management approach', i.e. segment information is provided on the same basis as information used for internal reporting purposes by the directors.

At regular intervals, the board is provided management information at a company level for the company’s cash position, the carrying value of its WA-54-R retention lease interest and a company cash forecast for the next twelve months of operation.

On this basis, no segment information is included in these financial statements.

NOTE 4 COMMITMENTS

Expenditure commitments include obligations arising from farm-in arrangements, minimum work obligations for the initial three year period of exploration permits and, thereafter, annually. Minimum work obligations may, subject to negotiation and approval, be varied. They may also be satisfied by farmout, sale, relinquishment or surrender of a permit.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Enegex Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
